It's been a while since the business climate has looked quite like this. Facing a pandemic hangover, supply chains that are still snarled, rampant inflation and very high interest rates, businesses are challenged by levels of uncertainty they haven't faced in a long, long while. The tech sector has experienced large-scale layoffs at Microsoft, Amazon, Meta and others while retailers including Party City and Bed, Bath & Beyond have either filed or are expected to file for bankruptcy protection. 

In the face of such uncertainty what's your management plan? Will you pull in your horns, find a safe place to lay low and wait this out?

We think that when times are tough, the tough...invest!
